I’m so glad you’re watching this! Fun fact in case you weren’t aware, beloved ZB1 Matthew was a trainee under Hybe Labels Japan and he mentioned being cut from the audition show lineup very last minute. He’s still really close with a lot of &Team’s members

Surya

Also really excited for you guys to maybeee get into debut &Team content and see K and Fuma’s insane dynamic where K is himself and Fuma goes out of his way to play the role of K’s bodyguard/knight/protector

There’s an official music video for the signal song if you guys want to check it out! And as a big stan of both groups, I do agree with the I-land comment especially since K still gets called all sort of things just by breathing unfortunately. But that’s a whole can of worms I don’t feel like unpacking. That’s why I really appreciate the non-toxic atmosphere of &audition. It has a good mix of wholesome editing that showcases the contestants as more of a team than competition, the debut group has enough security to lead the others but not be above them or criticism, and the smaller scale lets you get to know everyone individually as well. When I first watched this, I definitely thought the &ball/&ring concept was so unnecessary and still do tbh. I get that there needs to be stakes and something to enforce the teamwork narrative but the poor execution and transparency with how they distribute it just makes it seem like a load of bs lol. I’m really glad you’re tuning in and getting into &team! Even their growth outside of the show is so amazing that I can’t wait to get into it

I’m gonna say it again. The damn HYBE dental plan

I'm so happy you're watching and reacting to this! After you finish watching this, I highly recommend watching Nicholas and EJ's ASMR video, it's very cute and you really get to see how close they are

Nelle

i'm so happy that ya'll are watching this~! &TEAM is such a talented and lovely group of people that i'm so excited to see grow. Also since you 2 love EJ and Nico I highly recommend watch their M2 ASMR content it's full of nothing but soft boys and giggles.

IM SO EXCITEDDDD I STARTED WATCHING AGAIN BUT STOPPED ON EP 5 CAUSE I HAD A FEELING YALL WOULD WATCH IT TOO

Andy K

Love this! I came into the show as an EJ bias after watching the debut group's youtube content, then was basically instantly a Harua bias among the other trainees.

katelynnalexa

Can’t wait to see who y’all’s bias of this group 😭 IM AN EJ BIAS ♥️

mimi

I KNEW U GUYS WERE GONNA EAT UP HARUA I JUST KNEW IT!!!!!! i love &team very much and i can’t wait to see if you guys will too<3

Me

I’m excited to watch this with y’all. Literally all I’ve seen with &team is iland, that dating thing did with zb1 and bnd, and the eunchae’s diary episode but I’ve been wanting to get into them.

Seren

not giving any spoilers but as soon as your done watching the show you need to follow @24kumi_trainee and @24kumi_hlj on twitter. they are a trainee group gretting ready to debut under hybe lables japan and you might see some familiar faces 👀

Maeva

i love &team so much but i never got to watching their survial show so I'm here for the entire journey!!

Maeva

OH SO Y'ALL DON'T KNOW FR WHO MAKES IT,?? going to be funn

Tesa

I sadly didn't have time to watch their survival at the time, so I'm so excited to finally be seeing it! I have stanned them since debut - Under the Skin is one of my favourite debuts ever!! And yes I know it was technically a prerelease, but still.. I hope I don't get too sad about the trainees that didn't make it :(

PK

I’m so tired of these survival/audition shows coming up with gimmicks to represent their evaluations… I thought JYP was bad for making trainees earn stones for their idol pendants but what do you mean “collect the &balls to fill the &ring”???? Just print out a rubric and circle their scores fr fr

Por fin!! Hdjd el reality no es muy bueno, pero &team... They have HIGH quality music 🔥

Christopher Carpenter

Every time they mentioned balls I giggled. I am much too old for this behavior.

Destiny

watching this i think Gaku looks like Tae. or am i seeing things. especially when Tae does the tata mic face.

Lex

I knew yall were going to love harua!

Lex

There’s also so much &team content I’m excited for you to watch when you’re done with this! They’ve snuck up on me as one of my fav groups

Windy

I remember seeing MAKI when I was watching &AUDITION the first time and thinking, "Again? How did HYBE end up with three boys with the given name Riki?!" I think NIKI's the only one with his real surname revealed (Nishimura), but we know TAKI's and MAKI's real names are also Riki. Not the most uncommon Japanese boy's name for their generation, but also not the most common, either!

Harua baby looks like a new jeans member 🐰

Jennifer Gonzalez

ej & nicholas are actually besties, and they did a m2 asmr video, kind of like haobin's u know, but doing each others makeup and its the cutest, best thing I've ever seen, just letting yall know. haha

I'm so thrilled that you guys are reacting to this!! I watched the first 4 episodes when they originally aired, then fell off cause life happened, but then during awards season when I saw Nicholas & EJ on the 'My First Mama Mate' with ZB1 and BND, and then watched their incredible ASMR video... it led me into such an &team spiral, I’ve been looping their album for a month and just completed an &audition watch literally 2 days ago! Please excuse the itemized list of comments I'm about to drop. I just have a lot of thoughts: 1. Huge respect to Nicholas for learning a 4th language for this project. Like, imagine leaving your home country to move to Korea and live your dream of becoming a Hybe trainee and hopefully K-pop idol, going on I-Land, learning Korean, getting eliminated from I-Land, but you're still a Hybe trainee and now you speak 3 languages, and then Bang PD calls you into his office like "Good news, I'll let you debut! But listen. It's gonna be J-pop. You have to learn Japanese now; 3 languages isn't enough. Also, it's an Omegaverse-themed group. Better get ready to howl." 2. Happy to hear you guys are fond of Maki! Did you know that he was a musical theater kid, and supposedly joined &audition after seeing Sunoo do aegyo on I-Land??? Incredible lore. 3. Also, beloved beret Harua!! He has such a sweet voice, glad you noticed that. 4. Lastly, the &Balls and &Ring are so stupid. The "if you don't fill up this ring, none of you will debut" thing always had me rolling my eyes, like, girl, I'm watching the show! It would not have aired had you decided to scrap the whole group!! Anyway, thanks for reading if you made it this far. I can't wait for the next installment <3

Aleisha Layne

This is what I've been waiting for!!! Yesssss

Lion

OMG Thank you for reacting to &audition. That made my day. Cant wait for the next ep ... also this are bringing so much memories back ..love it

Kate Whatley

On the topic if K's leadership, even though he is not &team's leader, he is their performance leader, so he is a great leader!

Aileen

Didn't watch &audition but KNEW you guys would take a liking to harua, so the scream I also scrumpt when he shows up in a BERET

Squash

Ej and Nicholas are problems for me as well

Guru

ahaha well thank you for enduring the I-Land kerfuffle; I enjoyed the recaps. Now, &Audition is the one I watched (and voted) in real time! Gaku P01 <3 Oh, I think Hayate was my early favorite though :3

Ayla Jora

I fell for Gaku so much here

jasmine🍓

"HIS WIFE EJ" 😭😭😭😭

Kat

Gurl I’m already an ej bias and I don’t even fully stan the group so I’m right there with u Adam. He was so cute in the mama content with hanbin so I’m glad u guys r doing this watch so I can check out the & boys

McKala Hanes

I love how Sakura roasted them all in their native language like so kind tbh

Rae Avilez

Came for &Audition because like you guys, I fell in love with a bunch of boys on I-Land and now here I am running around and chasing after them lol! I still remember when Nico scared the beejeezuz out of Taki with that voice. It was so funny. People are still so weird about K. He is &Team's performance leader. We've seen that over and over again. Lune's King and he was meant to be in &Team. He is the Center. This is where he belongs. Hikaru was one of my picks. I love him so much. So most people followed K and Taki to &Audition but for me, I was following EJ and Nico. I was so unbelievably happy to find out they were part of this group! They are a set and come together and can never be separated lol! So I will be dropping full essays here for this show. So happy I get to watch it with you guys!

Aparte de mis ot4 mi pick de aquí fue sin duda Gaku, lo amé desde el primer episodio y cada capítulo lo amaba más de igual forma no pensé que amaría tanto a los demás trainees😭 pensé que sería duro quererlos ya que estaría estancada en los 4 pero no, todos son muy lindos, carismáticos y talentosos y me hubieron amarlos tanto, me hubiese encantado un debut de todos juntos porque lit al final ya eran toda una familia 😭❤️ espero los que no debutaron lo puedan hacer lo más pronto que se pueda, espero cover a verlos pronto y no esperar más tiempo como lo hice con mis ot4 😭❤️ y espero que los dos que ya se sabe que debutarán igual aquí en hybe Japón lo hagan pronto que ya no puedo con el miedo de la espera 😭😭😭 no quiero seguir sufriendo o peor que los cancelen, en especial porque aquí está al que más espero debutar de los 11 trainees 😭😭😭❤️

S u n f l o w e r

Las personas que siguen odiando a K enserio están locas y traumadas, necesitan un psiquiatra sin dudas

I know these were uploaded forever ago but I’ve been watching all your &team content lately and just have to say thank you guys so much for just being you… you guys have brought me a lot of joy during a dark time and especially today with the news of Heeseung leaving enhypen. This is the first time I’ve laughed all day and I appreciate you both so much for that.
